The only difference between our Congress and Islamic terrorists is their views on pork.

I thought maybe it would show, government agencies, like the Dept. of Education, Health and Human Services, Dept. of the Interior, OSHA, HUD, ICE, DEA, FBI, CIA, Performing Arts, Dept. of Energy... MediCare, MediCade, Social Security, Food Stamps, Aids for Africa,

Cool site. Thanks for posting.

Much easier to use than the CBD to see who got what.

Does not show much detail on contracted work performed tho.

Good for Coburn and that other guy.

Wait just a DARN minute! I don’t see Halliburton listed in the Top 100 Contracts of 2007. What gives? Could the Left be LYING to us? *SMIRK*

(Great site. Thanks!)

You can do a search by Agency here:

Choose Advanced Search by Agency, and then under Level of Detail choose Extensive or Complete (the default is Summary).

See #6 KBR. Until this year it was a part of Halliburton.

[Popman]

KBR remained a part of Halliburton for 44 years until it officially separated in April 2007 to become a stand-alone company.

Half right

Ping~

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Thanks. I figured it was in there somewhere. However, I expected it to be the biggest boar at the trough the way the Left denigrates it. :)

[Calpernia]

Wow. I wonder why it says ‘most’?
